Description: | Copper alloyPossible Strap Fitting. A cast oval-ended plate with a raised central zone bearing a pair of outwardly angled pyramidal lugs. At the centre of the flat reverse this piece is apparently brazed to a thinner metal strip; what remains of the latter is now of sub-rectangular form. The reverse surfaces of both elements bear transverse file or wear marks inflicted after they were joined together. No parallels for this object have been encountered. Though a Late Iron Age date cannot be ruled out, a Roman date is speculatively proposed: 40-400.Length: 38.67mm, Width: 16.07mm, Thickness: 7.98mm, Weight: 8.57gms.
